Once there was a crow that was starving. He used the little energy he had left
with to set out on one last flight to find food. Can you imagine how relieved he

was when he noticed a serpent asleep under a tree? Jumping down, the crow
caught it greedily.

The serpent was not going to give up without a fight. It suddenly moved forward,

of poison, in agony.
